3 solutions to mechanical wear in electrical components

"Lubricants for electrical components"

Mechanical wear represents the progressive and continuous loss of material from solid surfaces, in mutual movement and contact.

All mechanical devices, whether simple or complex, over time undergo these losses if not properly lubricated. “Properly” means you need to know which are the best lubricants for electrical components. Let's see what characteristics they must have.

The best thermal paste: its 5 features

How to optimize the heat transfer between source and dissipator with a conductive paste with a high heat transfer coefficient.

Air is a poor conductor of heat, which means that its thermal conductivity is not enough to dissipate the energy that accumulates in the electromechanical devices. This is the reason why between the heat sink and the source device it is necessary to interpose a plastic film, capable of removing the air between the roughness of the surfaces and of conveying the thermal energy accumulated to the outside. A heat conducting paste is  a practical and effective solution. But which are the best features that a good thermal paste needs to have? What chemical composition? How should you behave during prolonged exercise?

In this article we will outline the identikit of the best thermal pastes, analyzing 5 essential points  which must not be ignored if you want to obtain an optimal heat transfer without loss of efficiency over time.

Double the life of your production with a fluorinated lubricating grease

 

Have you ever seen a chain, bearing or gear with large areas of dry lubrication that ends up covered in a pasty residue of a different colour from the piece itself, that is sticky and devoid of any lubricating power? What are the possible causes? Are we sure that the maximum working temperature has not exceeded that declared in the Technical Datasheet of the Teflon® grease used as a lubricant in the application?

Rubber O-rings and seals, compatibility with lubricating fluids

Industrial gaskets and o-rings are essential elements of many mechanical devices. Their full efficiency is essential for maintaining the performance of the kinematic mechanism in which they are housed, but are we sure of their compatibility with the fluids they intercept? What are the risks of a change in their mechanical properties due to chemical incompatibility with synthetic oils? How do the structural properties change during contact in operation?

In this article we will talk about:

  • the role of seals in mechanical devices
  • how incompatibility between lubricants and o-rings manifests itself
  • how to choose the most suitable lubricant according to the chemical composition of the rubbers

Friction - reduction of friction with synthetic lubricants

Friction force and synthetic lubricants

What exactly is friction force? How is it measured? In what forms does it arise? What is the difference between the static coefficient of friction and the dynamic coefficient of friction? How can a lubricating grease reduce these?

Friction! Thanks for existing! Life wouldn't be that simple without you. Walking, climbing stairs, grabbing objects ... an absence of mechanical friction would prevent the simplest daily activities from being performed.

Any kinematics to perform its function correctly requires two surfaces in contact and in contrast. Simply think of the transmissions - a variation in torque and rotation speed would not be possible without contact friction.

In this article, we will introduce and analyse the concept of friction with particular reference to the lubrication aspect, mechanical wear and the possible ways of reducing it thanks to the use of synthetic lubricating greases and oils.
